Hi there!

My name is Gerrit/haskoson and i live in the northern part of Germany.
I started pen turning just before last X-mas.
After turning kit-pens for a few month,
I started turning "no-kit-pens" a few weeks ago.

DSCF2603_small.JPG
this was my first "no-kit"-like design
it´s a ballpoint


DSCF2665_small.JPG
this is a slimline in elm-wood with touch-cap and CA-finish


DSCF2610_small.JPG
this is a "cigar"-style pen in walnut with boiled linseed finish


DSCF2675_small.JPG
this is a "JR-style" fountain pen in mahagony-wood and CA-finish
it has an IPG-nib which will be changed to a #5 Bock nib (these nibs are so much better than the IPG-nibs of the kits!!!!)


DSCF2612_small.jpg
this is my very first "no-kit" fountain pen
it has a #5 Bock nib and is made of a material called "JUMA".
the "white" is actually more like "ivory"
it can be used with a converter or as an eyedropper.

Comments and critics are welcome.

best regards

Gerrit / haskoson
